That is one of the nice things about the internet, you can find things you didn’t know existed! You are always learning new things.  :woohoo:

Hardtmuth Koh-I-Noor 1511 2mm graphite pencil. If you remember my double ended pencil, here is the more common normal looking one. This one also a 2mm graphite that unscrews to loosen the grip on the graphite and then you adjust it and screw it back to tighten. It does have a wooden body on it. The end caps came in different colors so you could set up your own system of knowing what hardness graphite is in the pencil. I have it set up for tan color cap is for hard graphite because it write light and green has the softer graphite because it writes darker.
While I love clutch pencils first and foremost, these being the “grandfather” and slower to use, have the neat factor going for them!

It is marked made in USA, so the oldest it could be is 1919...I am thinking from the 20/30’s.

Yes it is. You can find them on eBay at some good prices. Like SAK’s, some people ask ridiculous prices just because it say’s ‘who ever/what ever’ and think they have gold!
